Brodie Explains Decision to End Servicemaster Contract THE CHRONICLE THURSDAY, MARCH 23, 1989 © DUKE UNIVERSITY DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA CIRCULATION: 15,000 VOL. 84, NO. 117 Brodie explains decision to end ServiceMaster contract By CHRIS GRAHAM President Keith Brodie said yesterday that his decision to cancel the Universi­ ty's contract with the ServiceMaster cor­ poration was only partially based on com­ plaints about the company's behavior at the University. A significant part of his decision was based on complaints by housekeeping em­ ployees and labor union officials about the responsiveness of their University super­ visors, Brodie said. Brodie also said the solution of the Ser­ viceMaster problem only addresses "one piece of an overall problem" in employee / University relations.

    PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 AND 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2007 Committee: Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Dr. John Makay Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Ron E. Shields Dr. Don McQuarie © 2007 Bradley C. Klypchak All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Between 1984 and 1991, heavy metal became one of the most publicly popular and commercially successful rock music subgenres. The focus of this dissertation is to explore the following research questions: How did the subculture of heavy metal music between 1984 and 1991 evolve and what meanings can be derived from this ongoing process? How did the contextual circumstances surrounding heavy metal music during this period impact the performative choices exhibited by artists, and from a position of retrospection, what lasting significance does this particular era of heavy metal merit today? A textual analysis of metal- related materials fostered the development of themes relating to the selective choices made and performances enacted by metal artists. These themes were then considered in terms of gender, sexuality, race, and age constructions as well as the ongoing negotiations of the metal artist within multiple performative realms. Occurring at the juncture of art and commerce, heavy metal music is a purposeful construction. Metal musicians made performative choices for serving particular aims, be it fame, wealth, or art. These same individuals worked within a greater system of influence. Metal bands were the contracted employees of record labels whose own corporate aims needed to be recognized.

    Reading activity Title: Yngwie J. Malmsteen Level. Intermediate + Objective. To practice reading comprehension and identify the past form of the verb and the regular and irregular forms. Instructions: Read the text carefully and answer the questions below. Yngwie J. Malmsteen Yngwie Johann Malmsteen (born Lars Johann Yngve Lannerbäck, June 30, 1963) is a Swedish guitarist, composer and bandleader. Widely recognized as a virtuoso, Malmsteen achieved widespread acclaim in the 1980s due to his technical proficiency and his pioneering neo-classical metal. Guitar One magazine rated him the third fastest guitar shredder in the world after Michael Angelo Batio and Chris Impellitteri. Born into a musical family in Stockholm, Yngwie was the youngest child in the family. At an early age, he showed little interest in music. It wasn't until September 18, 1970 when at age seven he saw a TV special on the death of Jimi Hendrix that Malmsteen became obsessed with the guitar. To quote his official website, "The day Jimi Hendrix died, the guitar-playing Yngwie was born". He claims his first name in Swedish means "young Viking chief". Actually, it is a variation of Yngvi, who founded the House of Yngling, which is the oldest known Swedish dynasty. Malmsteen was in his teens when he first encountered the music of the 19th- José Ramón Montero Del Angel | Universidad Veracruzana century violin virtuoso Niccolò Paganini, whom he cites as his biggest classical influence. It has been rumoured that Yngwie believes himself to be the reincarnation of the temperamental, often criticized,and widely misunderstood violinist from Genoa. Through his emulation of Paganini concerto pieces on guitar, Malmsteen developed a prodigious technical fluency.

  • Mccormick, Dietz Bringing Inaugural Elite 25 Camp to UD-Mercy
    McCormick, Dietz bringing inaugural Elite 25 camp to UD-Mercy Published: Sunday, August 11, 2013 By Scott M. Burnstein DETROIT — The inaugural Michigan Elite 25 program, an expansive series of prestigious high school basketball and life-skills training camps and clinics, will tip-off Tuesday with the Michigan Elite 25 Coaches Academy at the University of Detroit-Mercy’s Calihan Hall. Free of charge and open to the general public, the academy will run from 6 to 10 p.m. and feature talks from both Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo and Michigan head coach John Beilein, as well as other Division I men’s college coaches from within the state, such as U-D Mercy’s Ray McCallum Sr., Oakland University’s Greg Kampe, Central Michigan’s Keno Davis and Western Michigan’s Steve Hawkins. Tuesday’s slate of events is a precursor to the first-annual Michigan Elite 25 Showcase Camp on Aug. 17 and 18 at Detroit Cass Tech, where the top 25 players from each class in the state (grades 9-12) have been invited to participate. Parents are encouraged to attend the coaching academy Tuesday night, as some of the topics set to be addressed relate directly to player-parent relationships. Unfortunately, players themselves will not be allowed to attend, due to NCAA recruiting restrictions. The Michigan Elite 25, which will consist of three separate two-day camp sessions and one coaching academy each year, was created by childhood friends and Oakland County residents Tim McCormick and Mike Dietz. McCormick was a terror in the post as high school and college player, prepping at Clarkston and then starring in the Big 10 at Michigan.
